TUSCALOOSA,
Alabama — Wrapping up a big senior year, Trevor
Releford was honored by the SEC on Tuesday.

Though
he fell short of the player of the year award, the Alabama guard was named to
the first-team all-league. He averaged 18.8 points a game as the driving force
behind the Crimson Tide all season.

The All-SEC honor was the fourth for Releford. He was first team as a junior, second team as a sophomore and a member of the all-freshman team in 2011.

Releford
was considered a candidate for the player of the year award, but Florida's Scottie Wilbekin took the honor.

The
other Alabama honoree was Shannon Hale.
He was named to the All-Freshman team after scoring 8.8 points a game, but
turning it on in during conference play. Hale scored 11.6 a game against SEC
competition.

Alabama (13-18) faces LSU at 6 p.m. Thursday in the second round of the SEC tournament in Atlanta.
